如何防止毛衣起球

如何防止毛衣起球

Now that the cold weather is here, it’s time for cozy sweaters. But with that warmth and fluff often comes shedding and pilling. Your nice snuggly sweater either leaves behind a trail of hair like your dog or starts to collect a pile of nubs in spots.

现在天冷了，该穿舒适的毛衣了。但是伴随着温暖和绒毛的是脱落和起球。你那件舒适的毛衣要么会像你的狗一样留下一缕头发，要么会开始出现一堆疙瘩。

No one likes that pilling, shedding look and you can’t just replace a sweater once it starts to look a little worn. Here are some tips for fixing those irksome issues and keeping sweaters looking like new.

没人喜欢毛衣起球、脱落的样子，而且一旦毛衣开始有点旧了，你也不能马上换掉它。这里有一些建议来解决这些烦人的问题，让毛衣看起来像新的一样。

Wash gently. Washing can help whisk away loose hairs, but be sure to read the label and follow care instructions. In most cases, you're safe to wash by hand in tepid water with a very gentle detergent. Let your sweater soak in the mixture for about 20 minutes, but don't knead, as that can change its shape. Plus, the less movement, the less chance for pilling. Rinse with cool water then gently roll the sweater in a towel to absorb most of the water. Shape the sweater into its original shape and dry it on a clean towel or mesh drying rack.

轻轻地洗。清洗可以帮助吹散毛衣的毛，但一定要阅读标签和遵循护理说明。大多数情况下，用温和的洗涤剂在温水中手洗是安全的。让你的毛衣在混合物中浸泡大约20分钟，但不要揉，因为那样会改变它的形状。另外，运动越少，起球的机会就越少。用冷水冲洗，然后用毛巾轻轻卷着毛衣来吸收大部分水分。把毛衣做成它原来的形状，然后用干净的毛巾或网布烘干架把它晾干。

Stop rubbing. The main cause of pilling is abrasion, points out REI, so the main thing you can do to stop it is to avoid rubbing. Try not to carry a backpack or purse in the same spot if you're trying to protect your sweater and avoid wearing something on top of your sweater that will also cause friction.

停止摩擦。瑞指出，起球的主要原因是磨损，所以你能做的主要事情就是避免摩擦。如果你想保护你的毛衣，尽量不要把背包或钱包放在同一个地方，也不要在毛衣上穿一些会引起摩擦的衣服。

Freeze it. Fold up your sweater and place it in a zip-top freezer bag. Freeze it 3 or 4 hours then take it out and give it a good shake. The belief is that this freeze-and-shake method will cause all loose hairs to fall out all at once instead of just gradually as you wear it, says WikiHow. You have to do this each time you wear it so some people suggest just storing shedding sweaters in the freezer. (How you will find room in your freezer is another matter.)

冻结。把你的毛衣叠起来，放进有拉链的冷冻袋里。冷冻3 - 4个小时，然后拿出来好好摇一摇。WikiHow说，人们相信，这种冷冻-摇动的方法会让所有脱落的毛一下子全部脱落，而不是在你穿着它的时候逐渐脱落。你每次穿毛衣都要这样做，所以有些人建议把易脱落的毛衣放在冰箱里。(至于如何在冰箱里找到空间，那就是另外一回事了。)

Turn it inside out. When you wash your sweaters or even when you store them, make sure to turn them inside out. Pilling is most likely to happen when a sweater rubs up against something else. By turning it inside out, according to Good Housekeeping, it has less of an opportunity to develop pills either in your closet or in the washing machine.

把它翻过来。当你洗毛衣的时候，甚至当你储存它们的时候，一定要把它们翻过来。起球最有可能发生在毛衣与其他东西摩擦的时候。根据《好管家》杂志的说法，把它翻过来，就没有机会在你的壁橱或洗衣机里制造摩擦了。

Choose tightly woven fabrics. The looser the weave on a fabric, the more likely it is to pill, Good Housekeeping points out. For example, tightly woven nylon will be less likely to develop pills than fuzzy fabrics like fleece, wool and flannel, says REI. For shedding, just take a look at the sweater. If hairs are already poking through and falling off when you first touch the garment, well, you know what to expect when you wear it.

选择密织面料。《好管家》指出，织物的编织越松，就越容易起球。例如，密织尼龙织物比羊毛、羊毛和法兰绒等绒毛织物更不容易起球，REI说。要脱毛的话，只要看看这件毛衣就行了。如果你第一次接触这件衣服的时候头发就已经长出来脱落了，那么，你知道穿这件衣服的时候会发生什么。

Avoid blends. Check the label before you buy. Fabrics made of several fibers are more likely to pill. Those that are a combination of natural and synthetic fibers are particularly susceptible, according to Good Housekeeping. It's especially a good idea to skip fabrics that are a mix of three or more fibers.

避免混合。买之前先检查一下标签。由几种纤维制成的织物更容易起球。据《好管家》杂志报道，那些由天然纤维和合成纤维混合而成的物质尤其容易受到影响。最好不要选择由三种或三种以上纤维混合而成的面料。
